What is the strangest conversation you have had with someone?

#1

We once did a social experiment. There were four of us, studying for a masters degree for kids in need of special education (we were all already teachers and all in our mid-20s to 30s). We all had to do a little project at the beginning of our study. Us four chose to sit on a bench in a small park in town and see what happens. What kind of people would sit next to, what they would talk about. We did it in shifts to cover a full 24 hours. Also throughout the night. And we filmed the whole thing (got permission by the local police), but not to publish, only to show the other students.

Once an elderly woman sat next to me. She seemed to talk to herselft about various subjects. I sometimes nodded and responded though, since I wasn't sure. After a few minutes she got up, clearly mad, and just told me she don't wanna talk to me anymore and rushed off.

Around 2am - another guy of our group was on the bench now with us filming hidden away - a group of clearly drunk people showed up. Singing some songs. Dressed as sailors and pirates. Probably came from some bachelor party. Sat down next to my friend, sang a few songs with him, screaming a few "ARRRRs" between. Then left, but not before throwing a life belt/life buoy over his head (never found out where that came from - left it with the police). Not really a conversation, but surely a strange encounter.

Ants? They can be much smarter than us, and have taken over the world. (This is totally cosmo speaking and not my ant overlords. OOPS)
